Cancellara will set everything on fire in the last 10 ks.
If he's opening up a gap, nobody will be able to bring him back.
 
I'm going with Cancellara. For once he won't be the most marked man in the peloton tomorrow and if anyone can successfully escape from a charging peloton going full speed downhill or on the flat it's him.

Went with "other", because I really can't decide. Someone unexpected maybe. Sacha Modolo maybe.

Put my money on EBH, as the odds were good.

I have a strong gut feeling that it'll be Cavendish. Not that it's a particularly bold prediction though. :eek:

As a disclaimer I've got to say that my gut feelings tend to be wrong more often than not.
 
Sagan. He can win this race at 60% and is already cresting 80. He'll probably sweep the monuments this year and podium at the Tour. My only doubt is he looked kind of tired at the end of MSR last year. In any case, with Nibali, him, and Spartacus in such good form, I can't see HTC taking it.

Would love to see either haussler, cancellara, or boonen take it. a liqui win with sagan or nibali would be fun as well, but if i'm betting with my head instead of my heart, cav would seem to be the favorite.

Yeah im pretty damn sure HTC will not win milan sanremo 2012... Sky might though. The one thing about sagan that im unsure about is his endurance in this race. The last 2 years he has seemed to be pretty exhausted at the end. I'd say the top favorites are Cavendish, Cancellara, Freire, and Boonen.

I picked Boonen! Time for an oldy but goody! That's what my heart says.

My mind says Cav.

My gut says Canc.

The Force tells me Sagan.

SO....that means Oscar.:rolleyes:

They really can't. As I said elsewhere, easiest classic to finish, one of the hardest to win.

Boonen is my pick but there's about a dozen guys who could win.

I'd say it's about 60 percent chance for a bunch sprint. I guess that means about : Cav - 40 %, Freire 20%,Boonen 20%,Cancellara 20%.

I voted Cancellara, just a feeling :p.

I am starting to doubt the chances of Sagan, Nibali and EBH, although people seem to hype them up.

About Phil Gil, I think most of his fans are fooling themselves right now, just like I was doing before last year's World TT champ...
